00:01Mmm. This is fantastic.
00:06Mm-hmm. Well, I would have made dessert myself, but I know how much you love manual darts.
00:12Well, after you worked so hard on that main course, that perfect Veal Myrcella,
00:20I'm glad you gave yourself a break and bought dessert.
00:24Thank you for a wonderful meal, Veal darling.
00:28My pleasure.
00:30Really?
00:31And now, you two should go out and have some fun.
00:36Go to a movie. Take a walk.
00:39Please don't think you have to sit here all night and stare at me.
00:43You were staring?
00:44A little bit.
00:46Sorry?
00:47It's okay. I'm sure I was staring at you, too.
00:51Well, you know, I apologize for staring, but I do not apologize for wanting to spend time with you.
00:58You and our family.
01:01Well, that works out well, because I want exactly the same thing.
01:26Hi, neighbor.
01:28Can I buy you a drink?
01:29From my minibar?
01:31Thanks, but I'm on a deadline.
01:33What are you working on?
01:34Something exciting?
01:35Uh, sure, Gwynny.
01:37Come on in.
01:39Eaglets born in the Salem National Forest.
01:42Wow, groundbreaking story.
01:44What is it with Americans and their bloody love for eagles?
01:47Something I can do for you, Cruella?
01:53Actually, yes, there is a story that might interest you.
01:59I'm just hoping you won't have to print it.
02:09This had better be good.
02:10What was so important, it couldn't be said over the phone.
02:13Apologies, Mr. DiMera, but you made it very clear you wanted to be informed about our research every step of
02:20the way.
02:20All right. Out with her, then.
02:22There is a very slight possibility we may have a problem.
02:31Oh, my God. Destiny. Destiny.
02:34Okay. Oh, my God.
02:36Okay. Destiny, come on. Come on, we got you. We got you.
02:42I can't find a pulse.
02:43What can I do?
02:44Call 911.
02:46Tell them that... Tell them she's not breathing.
02:49Sir, stop. Watch.
02:50Okay, I'm going to begin CPR.
02:54Sarah?
02:55Hey, can we help?
02:56You're on duty?
02:57Uh, yeah, the ambulance is right around the corner.
02:59What happened?
02:59This woman was talking to Sarah at one moment, and then she just dropped.
03:03Okay, do you need me to take over compressions?
03:04No, I'm good. Just how quickly can you get your stuff?
03:07Okay, JJ, grab the backboard, the gurney, and my gear.
03:09On it.
03:10Yeah.
03:10Come on.
03:12Come on, Destiny.
03:21Like sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.
03:38Well, I think I will give you, too, some alone time.
03:45We'll have plenty of time alone, your father and I, but now is family time, so sit those long legs
03:55back down.
03:56Yes, ma'am.
03:58It still feels a little strange to be parenting a grown man, but I'm getting used to the new normal.
04:05Well, you are doing fine, Lexi.
04:09But I do have a few burning questions I'm hoping you can answer for me.
04:16Both of you.
04:20I've just learned from Dr. Green that one of the rats treated with the same serum that cured Lexi has
04:27met an untimely end.
04:31The rat died?
04:33Regrettably.
04:35Was its death caused by the drug?
04:39I hope not.
04:40As you know, rats have a short lifespan, only around two or three years, so...
04:45And how old was this particular rat?
04:47Well, I cannot say for certain.
04:50But we only used adult rats, so there's a strong chance he passed from natural causes.
04:56There must be a way to find out for sure.
04:58I intend to perform a necropsy.
05:01Hopefully that will rule out any undetected side effects or issues with the serum.
05:07And if the formula was to blame for the rat's death, what does that mean for my sister?
05:17Come on, Destiny.
05:19Come on.
05:20Are we ready for transport?
05:21Ready.
05:22Okay.
05:23All right.
05:23All right, let's move her out.
05:24Let's move her out.
05:24Let's go.
05:28You have a story for me?
05:31About?
05:33E.J. DeMera.
05:36And me.
05:39Okay.
05:41I'm listening.
05:43Well, I know how long we've been digging around.
05:46E.J.'s experiments at the hospital.
05:50Going so far as to even snoop around the DeMera tunnels.
05:55During Stefano's will reading.
05:56I was investigating.
05:58Oh, yes.
05:59Yes, you were, weren't you?
06:01You were thrillingly close to unearthing the story of the century.
06:05That is, until Lexi Carver happened to stumble in and just blew the whole thing wide open.
06:10Don't remind me.
06:13Sometimes it's hard to not feel like the fates are against you.
06:17One second away from a career-defining discovery.
06:20And now I'm writing about the hatching of cute eagle babies.
06:23Hmm, well, the story I have, it's even bigger.
06:31Bigger?
06:32Than E.J. resurrecting his long-dead sister?
06:36One might even go so far to say it could be your golden egg.
06:44Well, don't keep me in suspense, Quinny.
06:48There is one catch.
06:50You can crack the story open under one condition.
06:55What's the condition?
06:58That I'm dead.
07:11As I said, I don't believe you have anything to worry about, Mr. DiMera.
07:16And so, I am eager to examine Alexandra in person.
07:20I have analyzed the blood and been closely monitoring all her tests thus far as through the hospital system.
07:28Everything looked perfect when she was released.
07:31So you believe the drug is sound?
07:34I have conducted countless tests.
07:37Administered it to scores of rats after refining the dosage.
07:43And how many rodent casualties have there been?
07:47Post-reanimation?
07:48This is the first.
07:50But I am closely monitoring the rest.
07:56Let me know what you learn.
07:58Of course.
07:59But as I said, I don't expect any more problems.
08:03As long as we stay the course.
08:07Thanks to Theo, I've been using this to cram 14-plus years of history in my brain.
08:13But it's a lot.
08:15Especially in Salem.
08:17So, where did you start?
08:19Honestly, everywhere.
08:21Elections, scandals, the Cubs won the World Series.
08:25Ah, they did.
08:26They did.
08:27And they're looking pretty good this year.
08:31Marriages, divorces.
08:32Marriages, babies born.
08:37And the people we lost.
08:39John and Doug.
08:41Prince.
08:42They're all gone too soon.
08:44Hmm.
08:45And some of the news was about the people I love.
08:49Tell me about the kidnappings.
08:52My siblings.
08:53And you, Theo.
08:56Uh, I was the only, uh, granted.
09:00It was a terrible time.
09:03I didn't know if I'd ever see him again.
09:06You were injured?
09:08I was.
09:09I was.
09:10But I'm okay now.
09:11Obviously.
09:13Thank God for that.
09:18Is there something else?
09:19There is.
09:23Theo, I also read that you were named CEO of Demira.
09:31Yeah, that.
09:32You know, you don't have to worry about it.
09:33And I am so proud of you.
09:36What?
09:37What?
09:40I can't tell the story until you're dead?
09:45Is that something you're expecting is going to happen soon?
09:48No.
09:49Or at least I hope not.
09:52Gwenny, are you in danger?
09:54Oh, maybe.
09:58See, the truth is, is that I've been privy to what E.J. has been doing all along.
10:05I knew it.
10:06How?
10:08You don't need to know the details.
10:10All you need to know is that he's double-crossed me.
10:12So this is you double-double-crossing him?
10:16Yes.
10:18And I don't know what he's going to do when he finds out.
10:22So, if something does happen to me, I need to be sure, Matty, that you will not let him get
10:29away with it.
10:31You will do that, won't you?
10:42Hello, E.J.
10:46How was your time down in the depths of hell?
11:05Um.
11:08Destiny, uh.
11:12She didn't make it.
11:15Oh, good God.
11:17I'm so sorry.
11:19You knew her?
11:21Um.
11:23I saw her in the free clinic.
11:25You know, she came in feeling sick.
11:27Headache.
11:29Stomach pains.
11:30I just, I thought.
11:31I thought it was a stomach bug, so then I just.
11:35I let her walk out.
11:37Oh, no.
11:38You did all that you could do.
11:40We all did.
11:42Sarah, I just.
11:45You might go for it.
11:46It's a lot.
11:47Some, some paperwork.
11:49J.J.
11:49Give me a minute.
11:50I'll meet you in the ambulance.
11:57I've been a doctor for so many years, you would think that it wouldn't hurt this much, you
12:01know, losing a patient.
12:05I don't want to speak out of turn here, but I've dealt with Destiny Rowan in the past, in our
12:12law enforcement capacity.
12:15Destiny, there is something you should know about her.
12:26Destiny has had at least a few priors involved in narcotics.
12:30Maybe that had something to do with what happened.
12:33Maybe.
12:36She told me that she had taken some pills that she found in her medicine cabinet.
12:42Honestly, J.J., she didn't show any signs of being high.
12:46It's not always obvious.
12:49Yeah, you're right.
12:50It's not.
12:52Thank you for telling me.
12:54I know you're doubting yourself right now, but if someone is hiding what's really going
13:00on with them, if they're on a self-destructive path, sometimes there's nothing you can do.
13:09Yeah.
13:16You're proud of me.
13:18Of course I am.
13:20A black, autistic CEO of a major worldwide corporation?
13:28Is that not uncommon these days?
13:31No, it's still not common.
13:37I always knew you'd do great things, Theo.
13:42Thanks, Mom, but I didn't think you seeing me run Nono's company would be one of those great things.
13:49That's why I stepped out.
13:53What?
13:54You quit because of me?
13:56I didn't want you to be disappointed in me.
13:59Theo, I could never be disappointed in you.
14:04Yeah, but I thought you never wanted me to have anything to do with that side of the family.
14:08I wanted to keep you safe and pure.
14:13The Demir name always carried so much baggage thanks to my father and the things that he did.
14:20But in my heart, I always wish the name and the company could be something better.
14:30You're a force for good.
14:34I want that, too.
14:36And you, my dear sweet boy, are exactly the kind of person who could make that happen.
14:48This is not the reaction that I'd expected.
14:53Yeah, me neither.
14:54I could see why you think I disapprove, but I truly hope you'll reconsider.
15:02Please, I want you to go back.
15:05I don't.
15:09I don't.
15:17Okay.
15:22There is a sealed letter that details everything that EJ has done.
15:31And you want me to hold on to that letter?
15:34Hell no.
15:35No.
15:36My lawyer has it.
15:37He's been instructed to hand-deliver it to you in the event that something happens to me.
15:40Or if I don't keep in touch with him every ten days.
15:45A dead man's switch.
15:47A what?
15:48A dead man's switch.
15:51It's a safety mechanism designed to stop a machine or a system from operating if the operator becomes incapacitated.
15:58It was invented during the Industrial Revolution, so that...
16:01Never mind.
16:02The point is, if you die...
16:04You're my switch.
16:07Yes.
16:10But I have to ask, Wendy, why me?
16:14I mean...
16:15Don't you still kind of hate me?
16:18Yes, I do.
16:21But I also still kind of love you, too.
16:25Sorry.
16:27See, in spite of everything that's happened between us the past few years, you're still...
16:36You're still the truest friend that I've ever had.
16:40And you're the one person that I feel will really follow through, whatever it takes.
16:51I will.
16:53Whatever it takes.
16:56But, Gwenny, I do not like this.
16:59The you possibly dying part?
17:01I would be a wreck.
17:04Champagne before noon.
17:05Silk pajamas in public.
17:07Aggressive hugging of strangers.
17:08Come on, you can handle it.
17:10I could not.
17:13I have real feelings, you know.
17:15And I have been in the emotional pit lately, thank you very much.
17:21I lost Dimitri, and then I met Javi.
17:25And then Dimitri came back, and I lost Javi, and now I have lost both of them.
17:28Yeah, that's a lot of loss.
17:30It is.
17:33But the one loss I refuse to add to that flaming pile of misery and bad decisions is the loss
17:41of the person...
17:43Who I have known longer than anybody.
17:48My chaos twin.
17:52The only person I would share my last martini with.
17:58The person who can insult me and love me at the same time.
18:02Who gets my jokes before I even finish them.
18:08That's you, Guinevere.
18:12When no story, or the glory that would come from telling it, could ever replace you.
18:26Your staff told me you were here.
18:28So, when I didn't see you, I figured you were down in the tunnels, cooking up your next mad science
18:35experiment.
18:37Who are you bringing back this time?
18:39What do you want, Paulina?
18:44I have been aware of your unethical activities for months now.
18:49Activities which have turned my life completely upside down.
18:55So it is with a rare moment of satisfaction that I can share one positive development I've had in...
19:04Just say what you have to say.
19:07I have things to do.
19:08All right, I will.
19:11I am pleased to announce that the state medical board has voted to censure you,
19:17which, in case you didn't know, is one step away from stripping you of hospital ownership.
19:36Lex, the DiMera is still DiMera.
19:41Now, your siblings may say they're not involved, but E.J. and Kristen are never far away.
19:48He can handle them, and he'll have me now.
19:53Thanks for the support, Mom, but I can't go back.
19:57I resigned.
19:59Johnny's the CEO, and I'm not asking him to leave.
20:02Have you talked to your Uncle Tony about this?
20:05Because, from what I've heard, he's not satisfied with Johnny as CEO.
20:12Lex.
20:13What?
20:14He was making business calls in my hospital room when he thought I was asleep.
20:22Look.
20:24The DiMera are the reason that Theo was kidnapped and was almost killed.
20:31That family is just...
20:33My family, Abe.
20:35You know what I mean.
20:38You are not one of those DiMera.
20:41What kind of DiMera am I?
20:43Look.
20:44Theo's a grown man.
20:45He can make his own decisions.
20:47Could we please not argue?
20:50We're not arguing.
20:51We're having a spirited debate like we used to.
20:55Right, Abe?
20:57Yes.
20:58Yes.
20:59Yes.
21:01But I have a better idea.
21:09They can't strip me of my ownership of the hospital if they don't have a buyer lined up, and good
21:15luck with that.
21:17It's not like people were knocking the door down to purchase it when I did.
21:27From what I hear, they already have an interested party on the hook.
21:32Is it Xander?
21:34It has to be Xander.
21:35But how?
21:35Titans barely keeping their head above water.
21:39No, Snookums.
21:40It's not Xander.
21:43Then who else could it be?
21:46It's an old friend of yours, I believe.
21:52Gwen Rizchen.
21:58Look, Matty, I...
22:01I don't plan to shuffle off this mortal coil any time soon.
22:07But when I got into bed with EJ, figuratively speaking,
22:13I knew the risk that I was taking.
22:16Just like how you knew the risk you were taking when you kept chasing this truce.
22:23I have to admit, I thought EJ was going to whack me off a few times.
22:31Figuratively speaking.
22:31Oh.
22:33Let's hope.
22:35Anyway.
22:38Look, if I am to die before I wake...
22:44You know what to do.
22:47Oh.
22:48God, I really hope I never have to write that story.
22:52It's you and me both.
23:00Are you okay?
23:03I'm fine.
23:05You?
23:10It's not the first time I've seen someone die, of course, but...
23:15I've seen it like that, up close.
23:18Watching you fighting so hard to save her life, I just...
23:24I have even more respect for what you do.
23:29I just lost a patient.
23:32Sarah, you can't blame yourself.
23:33Yes, I can, though.
23:34I can.
23:35I...
23:37I let her walk out of the clinic, and I should have kept her here.
23:40I should have admitted her and run more tests.
23:43If I had, she'd probably still be alive.
23:45You can't know that.
23:46But there's a damn good chance.
23:51I just heard JJ tell you that Destiny had a history of drug problems.
23:57So she doesn't have any value, or her life doesn't have any value?
24:01You know, that's not what I meant.
24:06I examined her, and her...
24:09Her vitals were stable.
24:12Her pupils were reactive.
24:14She did not seem high.
24:19I gave her Narcan when I was trying to revive her,
24:23so it had to be something else, and I...
24:26I missed it.
24:43Dad, what are you doing over there?
24:49Oh, sorry.
24:50I got lost in my memories.
24:54But I thought I would bring an old family tradition.
24:59Hmm.
25:01Game night?
25:02Oh, how you can play this stuff on the Internet now?
25:08Oh, board games are so old school, Mr. Testmaster.
25:14Oh, no.
25:15I will get into it.
25:16I can't believe you kept this.
25:19And how many times did you move?
25:23You know, I saved almost everything for my life together.
25:27Most of it's in storage now, but, you know,
25:31the grandkids are...
25:32They're getting old enough to play.
25:34You mean Paulina's grandchildren.
25:38Lexi, Lonnie is still my daughter.
25:42And my sister.
25:43And Jules and Carver are my grandchildren.
25:49Of course, I didn't mean.
25:52I know you didn't.
25:54I know.
25:55I'm sorry if I get things wrong.
26:00I missed so much.
26:04We all did.
26:07But not anymore.
26:16Hey, your patients are very lucky to have you.
26:21Tell it to destiny.
26:23Come on, Sarah.
26:25How many people are alive today because of you?
26:28You're a wonderful doctor and a caring person.
26:33Thank you for the pep talk.
26:35I just...
26:37I feel like a failure right now.
26:41What time did you shift then?
26:4425 minutes ago.
26:48And what did you say?
26:49We head home.
26:51I should really go.
26:52You should go home.
26:54Get some rest.
26:56You just went through something really traumatic.
27:00So did you.
27:02I did, but not in the same way.
27:04But yes, it was.
27:09So, let me give you a ride home.
27:11We'll have dinner with Victoria.
27:13Spend some time with our little girl.
27:15That always makes me feel better when I'm really...
27:18Lost.
27:20How does that sound?
27:23That sounds great.
27:35Gentlemen.
27:37Leo.
27:41JJ.
27:42I know we don't know each other well, but Chad speaks of you often.
27:45And since your parents signed my paycheck at the Spectator, I feel like I know you.
27:49Yeah.
27:50Well, ditto.
27:52Anyway, I heard about the career change.
27:54Congratulations.
27:56JJ's shadowing me as part of his training.
27:58Oh.
27:59Well, it's always good to learn from the best.
28:03Yeah, well, with any luck, I'll be joining Gus as the newest members of the Salem Fire Department.
28:24You rang?
28:25What the hell do you think you're doing?
28:27I think I was about to pull myself out.
28:30You know what I'm talking about.
28:33So you heard my bit of news, did you?
28:36As hell did.
28:37You told the board you wanted to buy the hospital.
28:41Does that upset you?
28:42Well, I'm warning you.
28:44Oh, you warn away, EJ.
28:47You stabbed me in the back.
28:49And now I'm returning your knife, blade first.
29:09What the hell are you thinking?
29:12You're already an investor in the hospital and our research project.
29:15And as you very smugly pointed out, you and I never had a legally binding agreement.
29:21So really, I can do whatever I want.
29:26And we all know the hospital wants you gone.
29:28But they can't force you to sell the hospital, can we?
29:32Unless you have a buyer.
29:38I'm going to fight this.
29:41And they can't force me to give up my ownership.
29:44And if they try...
29:45Yeah, what are you going to do, EJ?
29:47Hmm?
29:48You're going to blackmail them?
29:50Bribe them?
29:52No.
29:53They're never going to fold.
29:55Kayla won't let them.
29:58And, uh, if you are planning to settle the score between us in a more permanent fashion...
30:08Hmm.
30:11Well, you ought to know that if anything happens to me, if I vanish or worse...
30:24Hmm.
30:26Those skeletons in your very overcrowded closet will not stay hidden for long.
30:34You wouldn't dare.
30:37Yes, I would.
30:40Call my bluff.
30:46Well, as usual, you two wipe the floor with me.
30:52Oh.
30:53Oh.
30:55Yeah, you know, uh...
30:57I think we should call it a night.
30:59It's pretty early, Abe.
31:02Well, you don't want to push it your first day back from the hospital.
31:05Oh, yeah.
31:06I am pretty beat myself.
31:11Night, Dad.
31:16Good night, Mom.
31:21Good night, Mom.
31:23Good night, sweetheart.
31:23Good night, man.
31:28Well, the guest room is ready.
31:32But if you like, I can take it if you want the master.
31:39I don't feel comfortable sleeping in a bed you shared with Paulina.
31:46And us sharing a bed together feels a bit premature, don't you think?
31:53Yes.
31:54Yes.
31:55I mean, whatever makes you comfortable.
31:58I mean, there's no pressure.
32:00There are no expectations.
32:01It's just...
32:03It's just one day at a time.
32:04Sounds good.
32:06Mm-hmm.
32:10Yeah.
32:12Sorry, sorry, sorry.
32:14I'm staring again.
32:16Uh, yeah, I think I'll go get some tiles.
32:22Thanks.
32:23Yeah.
32:25.
32:36.
32:37.
32:59I'm going to go grab some coffees.
33:06So, Gus is joining the Salem Fire Department.
33:09I guess that means he's moving here permanently.
33:12That's the, uh, plan.
33:16Well, I hope it all works out the way you want it to.
33:36I heard Ray's voices.
33:39Everything all right, Mr. DeMera?
33:41No, Rolf.
33:43Things are certainly not all right.
33:49Text Xander Kyriakas.
33:54Text Xander Kyriakas.
34:03Well, we've done it.
34:05She's all clean.
34:07You wouldn't know that she was covered in mac and cheese a few minutes ago from head to two.
34:12Well done.
34:14She wanted to come say goodnight to Daddy before she's off to bed.
34:17No, I want to play with Mommy and Daddy.
34:22You?
34:23But it's bedtime.
34:25Please.
34:27What is it you want to play?
34:30Can we build a castle for Larissa?
34:36All right.
34:37Yeah, we can build a castle for Larissa.
34:40And not just any castle.
34:42The greatest castle the world has ever seen.
34:45We need to get to work.
34:53All hail Princess Larissa and her brand new castle.
34:57Yay!
35:03Whoa.
35:11Excuse me, sir.
35:12Yes, should we go see the castle?
35:21Yes, she does have a brand new castle.
35:23Yes, she does have a brand new castle.
35:26Can we build?
35:27Let me see.
35:28Whoosh!
35:30We've got, what is this?
35:32A fly.
35:33It's a fly.
35:34Oh, my.
35:37Oh, my.
35:53Oh, my.
